Eren stood in the hallway, the silence of the house pressing against his ears. He looked at Lala, his voice steadier than it had been in years.
"Okay, fine. I will think about it. I am going to change our lives because I am tired, Lala. I don't like it when you are always working. I hate that you can't come home with friends or live a life like your mates. It is not right." Lala searched his face, seeing a flicker of something she didn't recognize. There was a hardness in his eyes that hadn't been there before the accident. "I promise you I am going to change things," Eren continued. "Our life has been sad for long enough. Just try to be safe and make sure you are okay at all times." Lala nodded slowly before retreating to her own room. Left alone in the dim light, Eren pulled out his phone. In the Omega sector, internet access was a luxury controlled by strict blackouts. He checked the time: 11 p.m. In exactly one hour, the digital gates would open for the lower class, and he would finally be able to research this "system" that had taken over his life. When the clock struck midnight, he began typing. He needed to know how far this thing was willing to go for him. The first search result showed an amazing anime-style illustration of a celestial interface. As he dug deeper into obscure forums and archived threads, he realized these systems did exist in the fringes of the world, though they always came with a price. He didn't know the disadvantage of his own yet, but he didn't care. It had brought him back from the dirt. It had given him a second heartbeat. He was down for anything. He scrolled through a comment thread where a user claimed that wealth generation was tied to "favor" and "charity." The logic clicked. If he wanted more money, he had to spend it on the right people. He looked at his contact list. Aside from his family, Hannah was the only person there. She was the only one he could use to test this theory. He dialed her number, his heart racing as the line rang. "I thought you would never call," Hannah said, her voice teasing. "What's up? Thank you again for the other day." Eren smiled. Not long ago, he had been a complete pushover, someone people only noticed when they needed a floor scrubbed. Now, a girl like Hannah actually wanted to talk to him. "You're welcome," Eren replied. "It is my honor to be of help to someone as pretty as you." "Well, look at you," Hannah laughed on the other end. "You are getting better at complimenting girls." "I know it is quite late," Eren said, leaning against the wall, "but I was thinking... would you like to go out on a date with me?" There was a pause. "Wow. Sure. Every girl would want to be around a guy like you right now. I would love to go, but my parents won't let me out this late." "What if I go and ask them for permission?" "I don't think they are going to allow it," she admitted, "but it is worth trying, right?" "Yeah, it is," Eren said. "But first, I want to surprise you. Can you send me your bank details? I want you to get some clothes to wear for when we meet." Hannah sounded skeptical. "Eren, I have clothes. And besides, where would you get that kind of money?" "Relax and trust me," he said, his voice dropping an octave. "I love surprising girls." Hannah laughed and sent the details, not actually expecting a single cent from the "Errand Omega." After the call ended, she headed downstairs to find her mother. On the way, she spotted her mom deep in conversation with a man who looked like trouble. Realizing she might get into an argument if she interrupted, Hannah turned to head back to her room. "Hannah? Why are you going back?" her father called out from the living room. "You came down for a reason." "Don't worry, Dad," she called back. "Continue what you are doing." She retreated to her room and shut the door. Just as she sat on her bed, her phone buzzed with an alert. She blinked at the screen, her jaw dropping. [Credit: $2,000.00] "How?" she whispered, covering her mouth with her hand. "How can an Omega have this much money?" Even though she was unranked, she came from a wealthy human family. She knew that tossing $2,000 to a random person was something only the elite did. It was suspicious, but when she saw the description, she couldn't help but smile. Get yourself a good dress. She quickly texted him back: Thank you very much, Eren. But I hope you don't get into trouble. Back at the Omega house, Eren received the message and grinned. Immediately, the cyan screen flickered into life. [Congratulations! You spent $2,000 on someone who likes you.] [Cashback Multiplier Triggered: x10] "Wow," Eren whispered, his eyes widening. "It is real. It is actually real!" He started jumping around his room, muffled thuds hitting the floor as he danced in the dark. His balance had rocketed from $14,500 to $34,500 in a matter of seconds. He was rich. For an Omega, he was practically a king. But the system wasn't finished. [Congratulations! You have unlocked: Personal Transport.] [Item: Neiman Marcus Limited Edition Fighter] "What? A motorcycle this expensive?" Eren stared at the image of the sleek, aggressive machine. "Can I liquidate this?" He knew this specific bike was worth up to $11 million. If he could turn that into cash, he wouldn't just be a C-Rank; he would be rivaling the Emperor Guild. [Notice: You cannot liquidate. Sports vehicles are not accepted until Rank C. You do not currently have the 'Piloting' skill. Liquidating now will cause a serious system error.] Eren paused. The system was right. If an Omega suddenly showed up with $11 million in his account, the Emperor’s Guild would trace it back to his family in hours. They would kill him just to see where the money came from. "Can I liquidate it later when I level up?" he asked. [Yes. You can.] A digital image of a key appeared on the screen. Eren reached out and swiped at it. The hologram solidified, turning into cold, heavy metal that fell onto the floor with a loud clink. Eren picked up the key, feeling the weight of it in his palm. His life was moving faster than he ever imagined. "Number one goal, check," he whispe red. "Get a motorbike and a beautiful lady."Latest Chapter

"We weren’t Omegas. We weren’t treated like garbage or left to sweep up after monsters. We had a real family," Eren spat out, the words laced with years of built-up poison. "It was only after you brought him into our lives that everything fell apart!"She flinched, looking away toward the floor. "We’re wolfless, Eren," she whispered, her voice barely audible, cracked with an old, permanent defeat. "We don’t have wolves to protect us in this empire. We never did.""So what?!" Eren spread his arms wide, his aura flaring for a fraction of a second, heavy and suffocating enough to make the air in the room drop several degrees. "Look at me! Look at what I am now! I am Rank B! I may still be wolfless, but I am no longer an Omega! I am no longer anyone's footstool!"He pointed dramatically toward the high archways of the mansion. "This house came with my status. The money, the security, the respect—it’s all tied to my name now! I can give you a peaceful life. I can protect you and Lala so yo

Eren pushed the heavy double doors of the mansion open, the cool night air swirling inside behind him. His body was still humming from the raw energy of the night, but the moment his boots hit the polished floorboards, his momentum ground to a dead halt.A man sat comfortably on the leather sectional sofa, one leg crossed carelessly over the other, holding a half-empty glass as if he owned the place.Mr. Lilmore.His stepfather.Right next to the couch rested the worn canvas bag containing Eren’s new Rank B academy uniform—crisp, tailored, and smelling of money. Tomorrow morning, Eren would officially begin his classes in the elite upper wing of Audrex Academy. Everything in his life had shifted into a completely different orbit.Everything except the parasite sitting in his living room.Upstairs, the quiet shuffling of feet signaled that Lala was packing her remaining things. Starting tomorrow, her life would change too. She would be transferred to the kitchen staff, no longer forced

Eren sat on the edge of the bed, the mattress groaning under his new, heavier frame as he reached for his clothes. The air in the room was thick, smelling of sweat and the cheap floral perfume Yuna used. He felt a strange hollowness in his chest, a stark contrast to the physical release he had just experienced."You don't have to be worried about Hannah finding out," Yuna said, her voice a low purr as she pulled the sheets up to cover her chest. "I’m not going to say a single word to her. As long as..."Eren paused, his hand gripping his shirt. He turned his head slightly to face her. "As long as what, Yuna?""As long as you promise this will happen again," she said, a playful yet greedy spark in her blue eyes.Eren stared at her for a long beat. The innocence he once associated with this family was eroding, replaced by the cold, transactional reality of his new life. He didn't feel like a lover; he felt like a patron."Call me your Cash App address," he said flatly.Yuna’s eyes widen

The click of the bedroom door signaled they were alone. The room was silent except for their breathing. Eren could smell the floral scent of Yuna’s skin. It was thick and heavy in the air. She did not let go of his hand. Instead, she gripped his fingers tighter. Her hand felt hot and possessive.She turned around and backed against the door. The soft light from the curtains showed her shape clearly. She looked at him with a calm, focused stare. “One hour,” she whispered. The sound was so low it felt like it vibrated through the floor. “Let’s not waste a second.”She reached out and touched him. Her fingertips brushed against his jaw. She traced a path down to his throat where his heart was beating fast. Her touch felt like it burned his skin. She leaned in until her lips were right next to his ear. “You’re scared,” she murmured. She said it like she already knew. “You’re scared of how good this will feel. You’re scared of Hannah. But you aren’t scared of me. You want me. I can see you

Eren cut the engine of the silver motorcycle, but the hum of the machine seemed to stay in his bones. He leaned back, staring into the dark, narrow alley that led to Hannah’s place. His mind was a mess of calculations. Audrex Academy was no longer just a school; it was a battlefield. Now that his identity was out, now that the "dead" Omega had returned as a Rank B with unlimited wealth, the hierarchy would scramble to crush him or crawl to him.He wondered if they would still try to treat him like a footstool. A dark smirk tugged at his lips. Let them try.His thoughts drifted to the system's requirements. The harem mission was ticking in the back of his mind. He already had Lala and her soft, heavy curves that felt like ripe fruit in his hands. Then there was Hannah, the sweet cutie who looked at him like he was the sun. And now, Yuna. He hadn't expected Hannah’s own sister to develop such a sudden, predatory interest in him, but he wasn't complaining.The math was simple. Every doll

For the next few hours, the mansion felt less like a cold museum and more like a home. The heavy silence was replaced by the sound of Lala hummimg as she explored the hallways and the quiet clink of plates in the kitchen. The scent of fresh wood and the pie they had found in the pantry filled the air. For the first time in as long as Eren could remember, his mother looked relaxed, her eyes losing that sharp edge of worry that had lived there for years.They were finally settling into the warmth when a sudden, heavy knock echoed through the house.The sound was sharp and out of place. It cut through their laughter like a knife. Lala stopped mid-step, her eyes darting to the front door. Their mother sat up straight, her hands tightening in her lap. Eren’s eyes narrowed. In this neighborhood, they were strangers. Nobody should have known they were here.His mother looked toward him, her voice low and cautious. "Are you expecting someone?"Eren shook his head firmly. Even Hannah didn't ha
